What are the three classes of geese?

The classification of geese into Heavy Weight, Medium Weight, and Light Weight is based on their size and breeding purposes. This system is essential for defining types of geese in a showmanship context, as it helps exhibitors understand the characteristics and qualities of each class. Heavyweight geese are typically larger, bred for meat production, while Medium and Light Weight classes include geese that vary in size and are often bred for specific traits, such as egg production or ornamental purposes. Understanding these classes allows for better management and preparation for showing geese, as participants can tailor their care and training based on the particular needs of each type.

The other classifications do not align with the standard categories used in poultry showmanship. For example, while domestic and wild distinctions exist, they are not specifically used to categorize geese in terms of size for show purposes.
